Health and Human Rights: A Conversation with Dr. Laura Ferguson

People often think of health as what happens in the health system and medicine, but our lives are shaped by so much more than that, and unless we get the laws right, the policies right, the systems right, unless we reach all of these different stakeholders in a real human way, I don't think we can shape the environment that we need to get health right.
